Elements of the 9040 Users Manual

Elements of the 9040 Determine the Rotary Field Direction

Indicators, buttons, and jacks are shown in Figure 1. To determine the rotary field direction:
1. Connect the test probes to the end of the test leads.
2. Connect the test probes to the three mains phases.
3. Either the clockwise or counter-clockwise rotary indicator illuminates showing the type
of rotary field direction present.
XW Warning
The rotary indicator lights even if the neutral conductor, N, is connected
instead of L1, L2, or L3. Refer to the back of the 9040 for more information.

Note
The 9040 is powered from the installation under test.

Maintaining the 9040 Replacing the Fuse (9040UK only)

XWWarning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, do not operate
the Product with covers removed or the case open. Hazardous voltage
exposure is possible.
W Caution
To prevent damage to the 9040:
• Do not attempt to repair or service the 9040 unless qualified to do so.
• Make sure that the relevant calibration, performance test, and service
information is being used.
• Do not use abrasives or solvents. Abrasives or solvents will damage
the 9040 case.
The only maintenance the 9040 requires is inspection and cleaning. Periodically wipe the
case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Clean only with soap and water and remove any
residue afterwards.
XW Warning
For safe operation and maintenance of the product:
• Use only specified replacement fuses. See Specifications section.
• Before you replace the fuse, disconnect the accessory (cable or probe)
at both ends.
To replace the fuse:
1. Check the fuse using a simple continuity test.
2. Hold the probe in front of the finger guard and unscrew the tip in a counter-
clockwise direction.
3. Remove the defective fuse from the fuse holder.
4. Insert a new fuse in the fuse holder and reassemble the probe.
